If you want to read something that will rip your heart out, read this. Eric Fair was an interrogator in Iraq who now has to live with his nightmares:

A man with no face stares at me from the corner of a room. He pleads for help, but I'm afraid to move. He begins to cry. It is a pitiful sound, and it sickens me. He screams, but as I awaken, I realize the screams are mine.

The damaged inflicted by our adventure in Iraq will be with us through a couple of generations.
